The Names of Love


Movie: The Names of Love
Genre: comedy (French, with subtitles)
Synopsis: Baya (Sara Forestier) is a very liberal French woman who is a bit of a hippy.  Arthur Martin (Jaques Gamblin) is a very straight-laced government scientist –  he is an expert on avian-born diseases.  Her mother was raised in a wealthy family and rebelled by marrying an Algerian immigrant.  His parents both fled to France from Germany during World War II after their parents were killed by the Nazis. Baya has a mission in life – she sleeps with righ-wingers in the belief that her actions make them more liberal.  Although an unlikely couple, Baya and Arthur take a liking to each other.  The movie follows their relationship through its ups and downs.

My two cents: I liked this movie. . . it was definitely not your typical comedy.
